Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Californian CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number G11AS20030), was issued by the U.S. Geological Survey under CFDA 15.808 (USGS Research and Data Collection). It is a discretionary science and technology research award and will be made as a cooperative agreement, meaning the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than acting strictly as a pass-through funder. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $15,637. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, and no formal award ceiling or floor was specified.
The core purpose of the project is to create geospatial data layers and spatial models that characterize cloud cover and fog on Santa Rosa Island, California. The work is focused not just on documenting whether clouds and fog occur, but on mapping their distribution and how frequently they occur across the island. A key technical requirement is that the resulting datasets must align to a digital elevation model (DEM) of Santa Rosa Island, so the fog and cloud products can be integrated with other island datasets, including physical and biological layers. The announcement leaves flexibility in methods by allowing the datasets to be produced from a range of possible data sources, which could include remote sensing, local meteorological observations, or other relevant information, as long as the final outputs are spatially compatible with the island DEM.
Eligibility was limited to organizations that are participating partners in the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership-based networks designed to support research, technical assistance, and education, and this announcement was issued specifically through that CESU mechanism. The posting date and creation date were April 27, 2011, with an original and final closing date of May 6, 2011, and the opportunity was later archived on July 25, 2011. For further details, the announcement referenced Grants.gov as the additional information link, and provided a USGS contact for access issues: Faith Graves (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).

10) What are the expected deliverables or outputs?
The expected outputs are geospatial data layers and spatial models representing cloud cover and fog distribution and frequency over Santa Rosa Island.
11) Is there a required spatial reference or base dataset the outputs must match?
Yes. The resulting datasets must align to a digital elevation model (DEM) of Santa Rosa Island.
12) Why must the fog and cloud datasets align to the island DEM?
Alignment to the DEM is required so the fog and cloud products can be integrated with other Santa Rosa Island datasets, including physical and biological layers.
13) Are applicants required to use a specific method to produce the datasets?
No specific method is mandated. The announcement allows flexibility as long as final outputs are spatially compatible with the island DEM.
14) What kinds of data sources are acceptable for producing the cloud and fog datasets?
The announcement indicates the datasets may be produced from a range of possible data sources, including remote sensing, local meteorological observations, or other relevant information, provided the final outputs are spatially compatible with the island DEM.
